Ab. Tolstoguzov et Ti. Kitaeva, DETERMINATION OF TRACE-METALS IN DEEP-SEATED MINERALS OF YAKUTIA BY SECONDARY-ION MASS-SPECTROMETRY, Journal of analytical chemistry, 53(1), 1998, pp. 68-74
A procedure for determining metal traces in garnet grains from Yakut k
imberlites by secondary-ion mass spectrometry was developed and experi
mentally tested. The procedure is based on the determination of relati
ve sensitivity factors for Ni, Ga, Sr, Y, and Zr with reference to an
internal standard (manganese). Calibration was performed with the use
of data obtained in preliminary measurements of 10 garnet samples by X
-ray spectral analysis with ion excitation.
